cueto tonight, with a firestorm over governor cuomo pressure is on that he be impeached or resigned or prosecuted, governor cuomo continues to downplay, not apologizing saying who cares people died in nursing homes, this after his team admitted hethey covered up the death toll from his executive order that put 9000 patients back into nursing homes, 15000 now dead, llthe new debate if it's really who cares as governor cuomo says, the governor cuomo should not care he should release to the public all the documents and full transcripts of what went on behind the scenes and is a administration and whether he did tell the truth the justice department as he now claims also this why didn't governor cuomo separate covid patients like florida did and why didn't he use the comfort navy ship that president trump gave him that was largely not used.

the urgent situation happening with the historic storm putting central u.s. in states like texas into a deep freeze, electricity and power shutdown, power outages, water shutdowns at homes, hospitals, police stations, fire stations and water and waste management wastewater treatment facilities let's bring in house to energy kelly armstrong, congressman your take on what's happening what are you hearing? >> we hope everybody stays okay even in a place where we are used to this whether we can feel for our friends and our family members down in texas but also i think it brings up a conversation which people like me have been talking about for a long time which is we need a resilient and reliable electric grid and we are seeing fatal flaws in realn time. elizabeth: the texas grid the texas governor called an

emergency to reform the texas power grid and hasn't been kept up tos speed but also wind turbines froze over, is this a wake-up call to the biden administration and the democrats in a full course press to go full on green or all in energy resources. >> it should be all ofho the abe and that's what we've been talking about and there's things that democrats and republicans agree on, that is improving the infrastructure in the interoperability and interoperability of the grid but the other answer and we know this, 25 perspective entered% comes from renewables over the last 48 hours, north dakota 25% of wind comes from renewables but last week 20 below it was 3%. these are realon serious questis and when you're in these situations they can mean the difference between life and death when it's this kind of weather. >> it is true you cannot store

the energy from wind turbines, is that what's going on? >> utabsolutely when you lose 1h of a quarter of your energy combined with the weather going all the way from texas to north dakota the energy demand up and down the systems is spiking, we have voluntary and north dakota in voluntary blackouts right now in the state when it's ten below 0, everything across the entire energy structure and there's no secret when coal goes down, g wg goes out, reliability goes down that's of reliability and the trade-off will be talk about carbon capture and these issues we better be talking about the reliability of the grid when we needed the most. elizabeth: net gas, wind energy and other sources in texas is a perfect storm of what's happening we see oil and gas prices higher indicating that the subzero temperatures hitting

production and causing demand to jump, gas, pipeline, freezing an oil well shutting and let's listen to what the former energy secretary is saying he's talking about the common sense approach and the trump administration and all in approach. let's listen. >> if we were in themi aoc worl, fast forward ten years and everything is solar, everything is wind and you have this type of event, 9 degrees and if you do not have power to keep you warm you are going to die. i don't hear the current administration, i don't hear the green new deal talking about other than wind and solar. elizabeth: your reaction. >> 9 degrees would be a heat wave and 9 degrees in north dakota. i want to put as clearly as i

can wind and solar are not baseload power, they were not intended to be baseload power and if we continued on policies that make them baseload power we will see more and more of these events happened natural gas provides energy, coal provides energy wind and solar have a place in our grid but if we move policies forward, we are going to suffer the consequences and we don't have to lookk very far you can look to california blackouts in germany right now we have seen this played out, it seems ridiculous that we would go down thehe same path. elizabeth: it's about common sense your terrific and we love your insights, come back soon. >> thank you for y having me. >> congressman armstrong is monitoring what's happening he's on house energy and he mentioned california let's bring out an expert in california republican party chair, this is an urgent situation happening right now in central part of the country and in texas, are we ready to go full on green?

>> of course not and we shouldn't attend national security risk i don't know what's worse the economics of politics with hypocrisy the biden administration pushing a pipeline to afghanistan that will help the brutal regime does not seem to care about the green deal there, here in california they literally run commercials at night saying you have to turn your energy down because solar does not collect you cannot collect solar energy at night it's a the standard of living it will hurt the vulnerable and that's a national search engine security concern if our economy is not up to snuff or we can't run electricity at night doesn't that createatur a risk, national security, of course it does. elizabeth: windfarms are inefficient in china is undercutting every country in this including the u.s., including germany germany saw the green energy job collapse and that's why they went to the north stream pipeline, plus this

is capitalism obama's deals show green energy insiders make a ton of money off of the government but if you dare question that, you are attacked. >> look this hurts the standard ofur living overtime my sister diane text me about how the houston governor, mayor talked about having to turn their toasters off or unplug them because they're out of, this is used in the capital the energy capital california this is unsustainable and lower standard of living a weak economy hurts the poorest among that you and i talked about that last week, i did get that haircut california finally open this is no way to help the poor if you want to help the poor, energy prices and gas prices are up 18% since biden has come in, why is that, just the threat of a new green deal will hurt people when will he start helping the poor

instead of piling on cost. >> we have power outages people losing their power and people losing their jobs john kerry and energy secretary jennifer saint oil and gas workers should sacrifice their jobs for climate change but there's tens of millions of oil and a gas jobs, higher-paying the green energy those jobs are $19000 a year government data shows it's only about 600000 - 750000 green energy jobs versus tens of millions of oil and gas china is making things cheaper, your final work? >> absolutely no way you can sustain a 20 trillion-dollar economy that has worldwide national security concern on solar energy it is unreliable and the grid is even built to handle and it requires turbine input to the grid this is a disaster but come to california

you can get a preview. elizabeth: great to have you on, thank you for joining us. up next to brothers, this is every families work not entered worst nightmare they lost their father dormant to covid-19 and a new york state nursing home we will talk to them about whato happened in their reaction to governor andrew cuomo's position on the growing scandal, the story next. >> we import to have the exact opposite order we said you cannot send covid positive nursing home resident back into the nursing home that the most vulnerable population and you would put them in serious risk but we also did after the first few weeks we established covid only nursing units so if somebody tested positive they can be safely transferred and isolated, recover and go back so the other residents were

cuomo's office and left a message and no one has gone back to us at all in regard to this. >> cold, callous, arrogant, uncaring, unfeeling i don't know what else i can say it was completely unacceptable to us and it goes to show you the type of person that he is. elizabeth: that was bill, cindy, lizzie and ted three siblings that lost their mother agnes in a nursing home due to covid-19 democrat state lawmakers condemning governor cuomo what critics say a disastrous press conference a lot of finger-pointing and blame shifting annoy apology and no taken responsibility let's welcome daniel and peter they lost their father norman in a new york nursing home due to covid-19. this is your father can you tell us what happened? >> i'd be glad to my father was 88 years old, vivacious, strong

still working and driving, sharp as a tack and he got sick right after christmas and through mishapsnd and illnesses he ended up in rehab and between rehab and in the hospital back and forth he had become bedridden because there is no workers taking care of people and either the hospital or the nursing home because the virus was hitting. elizabeth: go ahead and finish. >> we were told the march 25 order was coming out and we should take my father home we were very involved in taking care of him so we worked as hard as we could to get them out it took us a couple of days because the hospital unfortunately did not take care of him the nursing home did what they had to do we got him home and i'm sorry to say ten days later almost ten days later my father passed away from covid, morey than that not only did my father die of covid

we had other three family members my uncle and two cousins and three of the four were in nursing homes. elizabeth: this is so outrageous, we cannot even express how much sorrow we feel for you guys and your family. it is terrible governor cuomo is doubling down he's not apologizing for his order critics are saying created a super spreader disaster nursing homes he said blaming nursing homes visitors and workers, what do you say. >> i would say his administration said that they froze the trump administration sent them a letter about the deaths and i would say what does he think you put them to perspective we froze we were in a race for our father's life on march 25, we were on a race to save him from this race from

covid and unfortunately we did the best we could, ultimately we field our father and i can't imagine that they say they froze from a letter that all he did was require them to say tell us what the real deaths were what they do to the thousands of family members that knew about the order or didn't know about the order the order has defied common sense, defy science and they acted like the victim in this. and we are the victims, my brother and i have gotten much exposer more than the thousands of families have and all we have asked for was an apology dating back eight or nine months ago if you made a mistake admitted let's learn from it, let's investigate and stop being the victim, we are the victims of the march 25 order. elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear let's listen to governor

cuomo finger-pointing yesterday over his own obstruction and cover-up. watch this. >> the truth is, all of you know people still die in nursing urhomes today. people still die every day, this past year there is a toxic political environment and everything is politicized, covid did not get into the nursing homes by people coming from hospitals covid got into the nursing homes by staff walking into the nursing home, we should have done a better job of knocking down the disinformation you would never knock down these conspiracy theories, the political conspiracy theories. elizabeth: he is saying who cares he also said whoif cares people died, if it's really who

cares then he shouldn't care about releasing all the transcripts all the documents everything that went on behind the scenes of his or administration because taxpayers pay his salary he answers to us and we don't answer to him. your final word. >> he is paid to care and he has not realized. that yet and he needs to care he needs to show empathy and covid knows no political party we are going to tell you covid knows no political party he's only one that made this a political issue and he needs to stop because it's insulting as a democrat and insulted the democratic party the republican party in any partier with covid does not discriminate. elizabeth: we want to have you back on what you come back on soon, they lost their father in a new york nursing home from covid-19. your terrific come back soon. we'll be right back after the break will be back in two.

premeditated effort to out stan get rid of president trump based on newly revealed government documents, what do you say. >> what they revealed the very same time james comey was certified to the fisa court on application for a warrant that they had cooper and verified the steele dossier at the very same time he sent an e-mail to james clapper saying they had verified the information and claims of the steele dossier, that is a very serious problem for james comey because ite looks like he may have lied to a federal court that has got to be investigated and if that's what happened and need to be prosecuted. elizabeth: this is a smoking gun e-mail sent and january 2017 from then fbi director james comey to doctor of national

intelligence james clapper, comey e-mailed the fbi was not able to officially collaborate christopher stealsy anti-trump reporting and again, that was when comey was signing off on fisa wiretaps to go after the trump team at the secret court that for terrorist, let's listen two gates on this to what he said on hannity last night. >> not only did her own justice department set up the president on the russia hoax they did it with rotten information and they need the information was run when they did it. you know and i know and all the viewers know there will not be accountability under the biden justice department because none of the career people there think the way to move up in the biden justice department is to expose the russiade hoax. elizabeth: your reaction? >> i'm afraid he's right the national security division of the justiceat department does nt investigate this then that is a sign of partisanship of the

justice departmentt under joe biden but the fisa court also can and should investigate, if they fail to do something about the director, the fbi potentially lying to them than that will be assigned to the public that they're not willing to police the misconduct and misbehavior of federal agents and federal lawyers at the justice department and that will be a very shocking development particular with regards to the use of the pfizer statute. elizabeth: then it's full on katie your allowed to commit perjury before the fisa court that is meant for terrorist not political opposition campaigns. in june of 2017 comey testified to congress that the steele dossier was fallacious but unverified the fbi was told by the cia that carter page was a cia source he's an asset and we

were told by steele's own source that the information is gossip set over beers they knew the trump russia probe in the flynn case was falling apart they were told hillary clinton campaign and the dnc helped finance, the steele t dossier and hillary wanted to set up the trump russia narrative toet vilify trp and distract from her e-mail scandal all of that is apparently not told to the fisa court, what do you say? >> i think it was one of the worst if not the worst abuse of federal law enforcement powers and their powers counter and espionage in the history of the united states and the worst thing about it so far no one has paid the price for this which means this abuse could happen again in the future. elizabeth: here's c the thing james comey was pressuring then dni james clapper to include this deal anti-trump reporting

inside the intelligence committee assessment on russia meddling, by that time the fbi had like go of christopher steel thought to be by unreliable not trustworthy even as though russian sources said she's not trustworthy and let go for leaks of the media, the fbi let him go but is still reliable to put his stuff in ica, your final word? >> he was obviously not reliable enough but all this makes the director of the fbi frankly look worse than herbert hoover in abusing the power of the federal bureau of investigation for purely political purposes and that is unacceptable today in our political society. hans von spakovsky thank you for joining us we know what you met when you say j

elizabeth: joining me now former acting attorney general matthew whitaker it's great to have you back on reports are coming in the republican lawmakers and staffers on to capitol hill leading panels house oversight and senate homeland security plan to pursue pay to play conflict of interest involving the biden family, what is the low hanging fruit here what do you say? >> there is a lot and i'm glad to be on with you tonight i think the hunter biden situation continues to not only be

investigated by the department of justice by congress through the committees in the house and the senate should continue to pursue that but there's also family members, his daughter-in-law, his brothers have also needed some attention to what their business dealings are in this administration, the real concern for the next four years if there's not an active oversight function of congress looking into the pay to play allegations and not only previously the vice president but now the president i think people can get away with very bad business deals without the attention of the republican congress. elizabeth: one includes biden's son-in-law who touted his links to the president of the chief medical officer for the start of health the company is investing $2 billion and more than 350 text startups over the last year companies are approaching his company because of the access to

the president and they want to get into federal and state agencies things like covid vaccine and distribution software and the like, what are your thoughts about that. >> i think that's a dangerous area of people are approaching him with the relationship of the president to get the attention for their product and their commercial interest, i would expect this will continue to have a spotlight i think we need to pay attention to what this company the sudden law that each is involved in others in his family to make sure they're not getting special treatment or being able to cut the line and get federal money or federal tension that they don't deserve on the merits. elizabeth: critics are saying it seemed like a par for the course for the biden family because joe biden's brother frank featured in a law firm, the berman laub that said my brother, he is not a lawyer he's an advisor to the

law firm but it seems like it's out there inside the biden family that it's okay to run advertisements touting their connection to the president. >> in my sense this is not new for the biden family for the eight years joe biden was vice president there were allegations especially with his son hunter but others in his family that were taken advantage of the relationship and access, this is something that this president has made statements about being aboveboard and more than ethical, doing things right way i want to see the proof of the pudding and see that they take the right steps to make sure these family members don't have access that is not consistent with the highest ethical standards. elizabeth: we hear what you're saying, we hear the rhetoric in the words, what is your feeling about the fact that there's still the justice department probe into hunter biden for connection to money laundering

and tax evasion involving overseas business dealings, the person running the criminal division and i talked about this is the former business partner, law firm partner to hunter biden's own attorney that is to president biden put in to run the criminal division at the dod overseeing his son to probe, what is going to happen there. >> that relationship is concerning somebody that was not only a law partner but worked cases with the head of the criminal division and private practices representing hunter biden but in this case the u.s. attorney in delaware is leading the investigation there will be very few things the criminal division would need to be access to permission to do and in fact if it's a tax invasion case and will be handled in the permission and approval by the tax division which is separate and distinct from the criminal division i know that relationship is concerning we

talked about before but ultimately, this case against hunter biden will be in the dominion control of the u.s. attorney's office and kept the u.s. attorney on who is leading the investigation. elizabeth: matthew whitaker thank you for the update, good to see you. elizabeth: coming up more chaos at a group that was vehemently anti-trump the lincoln project hosted by steve schmidt, rick wilson and george conway, the lincoln project is not falling apart, the story next. >> the lincoln project was a front group for establishment money to attack the president and the people who supported the president and that energy and motivation will continue. introducing schwab stock slices. for as little as $5, now anyone can own companies in the s&p 500, even if their shares cost more. at $5 a slice, you could own ten companies for $50

more gets worst with the anti-trump lincoln project it's an escalating scandal can you talk to us what is going on. >> you're absolutely right the more we learn about the lincoln project the worst against and let's be perfectly honest it may not have been a vicious anti-trump organization we might've found out much about those long ago andut frankly thy would already be disbanded but it appears many people are trying to make the story go away because of anti-trump organization. elizabeth: stopped taking donations, yanked its raising page, second minor a teenager coming forward john weaver sexually harassed him, not 20 minors, teenagers coming forward saying he sexually harassed them cofounders knewpo about it as early as potentially march of last year what was going on with him they pull and $90 million,

half of that money went into companies cofounders control ford. >> the weaver obligations are absolutely atrocious and i hope somebody gets to the bottom of that with the law firm that they contracted to look into this paul hasting has its own conflict of interest, to your point covering up for john weaver is not the lincoln project it appears that they engaged in corrupt business practices in the sense that they only spent one thirdne of the money and they raised over $90 million and spent 50 million or at least 50 million to their own direct companies i think the donor should be pushing for accountability because they might have a lawsuit on their hands when it comes to corrupt business practices. elizabeth: should there be a government investigation should the irs look into what they were doing because you cannot personally taken money for your

own personal expenses we understand loosey-goosey with the nonprofits but this is serious corruption allegations against the lincoln project and run by george conway who today said yes it should be shut down, should the irs look into it should the d.o.j. look into it it's beyond a toxic workplace it's criminal accusations of sexual harassment of minors and you know using money potentially for personal expenses, what do youer say? >> i think the government should look into this my question how much will politics play because of this was a republican outfit in this a be the biggest story of the year, i hope the government understands irrespective of the politics is absolutely gunter ridiculous and they were not principal conservatives, they were drifters after the money and everybody got taken to lunch i'm so old i remember when aoc called the lincoln project to

scam. elizabeth: it's interestingas cn in has them on, msnbc, 60 minutes has them on where is the boilerplate to say we are a super pack raising tens of millions of dollars to hammer away at trump and the money is comingy in tax-free this is whee were being financed for in many times personal attacks on president trump but everybody is supposed to be okay without msnbc, cnn and 60 minutes handling this? >> you're right, the media turned a blind eye because his gentlemen were taking twice a donald trump and they agreed with what they're doing they just decided not to look under the hood they turned a blind eye and because of their hatred of donald john trump and with the lincoln project was bad for politics and hurt america.

the disregard by the human smugglers themselves they don't care about these people at the end of the day it's trying to make a profit and they'rere willing to bring them across leave them in dangerous conditions and go back knowing that they can bring more people crossed ando sometimes to be honest a lot of these things what they cause is a distraction for agents that we the drug smugglers can bring in drugs and another part of the border itself. elizabeth: that's a dangerous situation and if the person being him humanly smuggled in their turned into meals for drug smugglers it is ayo dangerous ge what do you think of president biden promising to keeping america safe the borders warning the present deportation criminals will result in dangerous crimes potentially in the u.s.?.? >> a lot of this comes under policy when you step into a new administration you realize they

willad change something would yu expect them to change policy with other policies that could also work or at the same time adapt and keep those policies that havee been working, a lot f the policies that have been working sending people back to their country, having them wait there because you can't open the floodgates, what happened to create a magnet that creates more criminalshe coming through and at the same time you have people false claiming not amnesty but false claiming asylum and that's also dangerous because then you release them and never hear from them again at the end of the day it comes down to a lot of smuggling organizations and people smuggling organizations they take advantage of this and realize it distracts agents from the day-to-day job, what we see in rio grande valley, you see a lot of unaccompanied juveniles when you think of him and accompany juveniles a lot of people think of children but you turn over and look at the tucson sector and the company in that

sector are more 16 and 17il -year-olds that are claiming to be juveniles but you realistically do not know. elizabeth: interesting we hear exactly what you're saying, it appears there is so much pressure on border patrol and here's what recently happened ice drop detained a request for 26 criminal illegal aliens in the state of texas alone and most were convicted of drug charges or drunken-driving but two are convicted of sexually assaulting a teenager and a third was convicted of indecency with a child and when you look at what's happening in recent weeks you see something like wwere seen thousands, catch and release totals at least 2000 released into this country, what do you say? >> it'sne a magnet that is being created with these policies that is allowing criminals to thrive ain the u.s. and allowing criminal organizations to be able to bring in their up and

comers i guess she would say within the t criminal world so they can come to the united states, they can claim to be unaccompanied juveniles released in the united states and continue their criminal explicates, the problem you have to really pinpoint what policies were working before and those policies remaining in mexico those policies of arresting individuals and sending them back to their home country is a big deal you cannot allow lawlessness and you cannot create that magnet for people to run around not just in the borders the running around in major cities. elizabeth: it is unclear whether the two thousands were criminally charged or had convictions, let me back up they were charged for things that drunk driving, simple assault and drug crimes but half a dozen states that you just mentioned that there is concern about texas, arizona, new mexico, nevada illinois historically

this is where the criminal illegal aliens in that. final worden on that. >> that's where they end up driving in their criminal element we need to make sure we have laws that do not create a magnet to bring more crime into the united states. elizabeth: it's great to see you, thank you for joining us i'm elizabeth macdonald have a great evening. larry: welcome, folks, the debut of "kudlow." i am larry kudlow, and i am delighted to be here with you. i plan to put forward my vision of the american economy, one of optimism and faith. i believe supply-side economics and free markets all always they to a prosperous america. and, by the way, i believe that leads the way to a happier america. and as the white house economic adviser during the can reagan and trump presidencies, i've also learned that a
